Link randomly moving in one direction uncontrollably

I'm not sure if this is Windows 10 specific or not, but I have come across a big game breaking problem in which Link sometimes starts moving in one direction uncontrollably, even when I'm not pressing the direction he gets stuck in, and I can't seem to get it to stop; it just seems to stop on its own. Has anybody else been experiencing this problem?

No, I'm using a desktop computer with Windows 10. And for the record, I usually use the keyboard to play, and I've been having this problem when using the keyboard. I've also had this problem when using a controller to play.

I was playing the 5th quest by bigjoe when I was having this problem, so in this case:
1. No, neither water tiles nor Big Link are involved.
2. It's orthogonal.

Has this happened on multiple occasions? Just to clarify, is your keyboard wired, or wireless?

I had not run into this on Win 10, with a keyboard, or with a USB pad, and I'm at a loss to explain what could cause it in that situation. I don't know what software you have running in the background, or what other processes are happening, but if this occurs again, post a screenshot of task manager, and if it ever occurs thereafter, do it again, and perhaps we can find a common thread. 5th Quest is not doing anything scripted, AFAIR, that could ever do this, and I have not encountered it, at all; other than diagonal movement issues that have been rectified.

If the same bug is affecting you, then the next release may cure it. Otherwise, this is going to be another fun one.

Yes it has; I'm using a wired USB keyboard. By the way, what operating system are you running ZC on?
